NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID,
Prepared hy JV. W. Seal, M. I).
Reasons why it should be used instead of any other treat
iih'li in all Febrile affections :
I Ht.—>Kcoiimiiy of Time.—An only one-seventh
of the ordinary tine in required to effect a cure.
‘id—Kronoiny of Money.—Ah items hut one
dollar.
it rl.— Economy of Feeling.--As Itsavea tho
suffering of a lonic sickness and the consequent treat
ment; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of
medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain oi
long confinement: but little of the fluid lining necessary,
and that pleasant in its effects.
4 *!.— (economy f Thought.—As when
known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present
existing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while
a dear friend is sick.
ffth.— Kconnniy of dealt h.—As the system
is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor in the fever
subject to tie followed by chronic disease.
(itli. —Economy of Life.—As the cure is effected
before and without reducing the patient, consequently
removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger Ota fatal
termination.
Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed
sufficient to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi
tions of life.
The above reasons lire more particularly applicable to
the immediate treatment on the first attack, hut will
apply with equal force to cases which have been subject
ed to Os have become reduced, corresponding of course
to the nature of tlie case at the time it is tirst adminis
tered.
As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma
nent relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after
the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had
been really much sick, and very naturally conclude tip y
were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling
—a little cold, which gave alarm—it could have been
nothing of consequence—it would have (Missed off with
out anything—that medicine had no effect.” The general
Impression on the subject of fever is such, that tlmuglitH
not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case
ns naturally as men think at all; and it. is not until
the individual lias witnessed ninny eases that lie can fully
realize the truth; and even then he may conclude them
nil very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded
to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have
been thus successful in |>erliupa hundreds of cases, must
expect that there will cases occur where there is some
organic or local cause so great ns to require particular
attention, or though success ill in reducing Urn fever,
it will again rise os the influence of the “ fluid'’ passeH
off, as tile exciting cause may still exist, it Is to guard
against disappointment in suen cases that I have given
and frequently refer to wliat I have called a “ synopsis,”
Remarks on Fevers In General-
On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Ily the
term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to
which the human frame is subject, including small pox
and other eruptive fevers; hut as they arise by a great
variety of cuiisvh, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and habits, they of eourse differ considerably in tiieir
development nod exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by tho same general character
istics—that oi undue excitement in the circulatory und
nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, sense of heut, dryness of the skin,
debility, &c.
To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, I quote from tho celebrated Prof. T. Watson,
of King's College, London, whose work oil the “ Priori
pies and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of
our medical colleges, and consequently xtaiularilauthority.
On p.tgo 834, hessys;—“We hear continually, both iu
and out of tho profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Ily tho public, Typhus fever, Drain fever,
Bilious fever, Putrid fever, Low Fever, Nervous fever,
Ac. And systematic writers are to tho full as par’teular:
Mucous fever, Ataxic. Adynamic, Uastro-Kntorlc, mid
so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, I am persuaded that tho effect upon the
mind of all this sub-division, is bod and hurtful, it
encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre
scribe lor a disease according to its tuiiiie. There is m.
liu of genuine distinction between continued fevers
that can lie relied on. They run insensibly into each
otujr, oven ill.; iu ‘St dissimilar of them, uud ure often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a groat fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you self about a “ name;” if you have
fever, treat it at ouce as hereafter directed, and you
will be well nstosd of any distinct character being devel
oped. so ns to bo properly named by the most scientific.
Tills assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
lions or visions of mind, hut on experience at tho bed
side of tile sick, ill hundreds, aye, thousands of oases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of cir
cuiiistaiicus, seasons and climates. Hear this in mind
and treat at ouce without regard to name, and resi
assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing ami dangerous fevers, liut as cases may have be
come developed before the ‘ Fluid” is given, eitiier by
neglect, or under some other treatment, 1 will dose rite
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued ill
all of tin; most prominent fevers, though llio “ itules”
and “ Synopsis” will ho amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.
It airs important to be observed in all eases in using the
Negative Electric Fluid.
Ist. It should lie given in three or four times its own
quantity of water, and may lie swoetened or not at
pleasure.
3d. Patients must ho free from all currents of air,
(though there should always bo free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in
fluence.
3d. It must be continued whenever the fever subsides,
or is evidently paesiug off: to be resumed when it
begins to rise again, should such he the ease under any
circumstances.
4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must
be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should
not tio questioned ns to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatovei
till their cum natural fittings, independent of all extra
neous influences, intluce them to rise or speak; noi
should auy conversation be allowed in their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, hut be left
quie to all intents and purposes.
fith. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it us
plentifully, and as long as the patient desires and no
longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
Oth. Should patients experience any oppression or
fuiutness while iu tho lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade witli a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant ; or the face and
breast may be bathed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.
TABLE OF DOSES.
For children of one year or under, from 3 to 8 drops.
“ over 1 and under 3 years, “ ft to 16 “
“ “ “ 5‘ •> 13to 30
“ “ 6 “ 10 “ 3O to 60
“ 3 “ Ift half to a tenapoonful.
All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom
a toaspoonful is a common dose. Old persona do not
require as much as young, or those in tho prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular care necessary in giving it to
children—those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses; hut for a little guide. 1 have given the
above table, with the remark that, us a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing the above directions, the medicine will
be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations
ot tile most sanguine realized, und many perfectly
astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that
the full benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ole
servances.
Hiltons or Hrmlllrnt Fever.
(Jive n teasponftal of *• Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in
two hour*, till tlio fever is evidently illusion off; this
constitutes tbe whole treatment in oil simple fuses of
fever, with such observances ns sre set forth in the
” Rules.” Hut should there he prominent local symp
toms, or known local existing causes, they should he
atteuded to nt once, and while giving the “ Fluid.”
Bee Synopsis.
If in any case the h ovels are particularly constipated
or confined, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the
first portion; they must be opened nr the fever may rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running til) or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible
to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two teaspoonsful
may be giveu at drat with advantage, ami even repeated
in two hours—if it —the pulse—has not been
tints showing the medicine has taken effect.
lhtthiug the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, (lie saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, in these difficult cases, w ill afford relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Hive two teaspoonsful and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, tlien only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside). As
the bowels are generally routined, and It is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no time should he lost to get them open, give some active
cathartic with the •• Fluid” ami repeat as may be neces
sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also bo
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
frtcllou (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
appllc itloos to the head. Quinine may be added to the
“ Fir ill” if thought advisable. Bee Synopsis.
Rervaui Fever, Typhus, Ship and Putrid
or Spotted Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, lining all of a low grade, the pulse
small and wiry, with a general groat depression, there is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
inv treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required: still
Comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under
the common treatment, while with this but a few days
will lie necessary at lougest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should he commenced—which may
immediately follow aav other without detriment—with
a teaspoon fill of Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse
become- fuller or lager in volume, then to be continued
>nce in rv or eight hours till the fever entirely subsides.
In hail cases, from three to five grains each of ./win me
and capsicum (Cayenne pepper) or some tonic and stimu
lant (soe auxiliaries) should lie added to each dose. The
bowels should bo kept gently open, and small portions
of some hc/nt ic should bo given oci asionally, even
though Ihu bowels should be very loose. Ike patient
should Iki sustained by nourishing and mitcilageiiotis
drinks—such as are iu common use iu such cases.—
Win-rathe skin is very dry, sponging the surface as di
rected m bilious lever, will lie found ludvautogeous.
Tonics should lie used .luring convalescence, iu all cases
which have become reduced.
Pneumonia, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung
or Winter Fever.
(live a teaspoon fill of tho “Fluid” every two hours,
with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of honoset; or
half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved,
then, at longer intervals, suy once in six or eight hours.
The boueset lea should bo given warm till tho violent
symptoms ure allayed, or the patient is relieved; then
cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something oi
the kind, to be applied over the seat of pain; keep the
bowels gently open.
Variolu, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla
tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Meaales,
and Scarlet Fever.
As nil of these diseases are attended will* lever, which
in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment
differs Imu little from tiiut of common fevers. Uomi-mber
never wait to learn tin; “name,'’ whether it is one or the
other, or neither , as they all commence with freer, but
treat it ut once; govern the fever and there will be no
trouble; there will he but little eruption even iu sinuii
pox. Tliis, to most minds, is anew idea, und doubtless
will be regarded Willi ridicule by many. I nevertheless
boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as
1 direct, will be cut short ; attended with but little erup
tion; little or no pitting, anil that there is no necessity of
its running its ordinary course. On tliis 1 will stake
not only my reputation, hut all that 1 hold most dear;
besides, ou this subject, 1 have good authority; that of
Prof. Watson, previously quoted. lie says, page 874:
“ You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, and
keep down, it is believed, the number of the pustules by
spline purges, Ac.” llure is the odmiseioa that it tuay
be done. I nave not only proven it may be, but bus
been done ill numerous cases thut occurred ou board
ship. Fee the account appended.
Uive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency
of the case, witli a dose of sails or castor oil; repeat tile
Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the feversub
sides— though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient;
but it should Is; given and repeated sufficiently to keep
the fever under control. When the throat is affected,
any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the
surface bathed, as thought advisable.
In one case, on the ship Duchessd’Orleans, the tongue
anil taueiis were so much swollen that the patient could
not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping the
Fluid ou his tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow,
when ii was given in teaspoonful doses ecery hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat wus reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the tl.rout frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle iu all such cases.
Fur i-jit!rn lor Child bed Fever.
Tliis heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming
malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Electric Fluid witli such readiness, as to seem
to lie of little consequence. A single dose or two of a
teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should be re
peated as long as the f*>ver continues, as in other cases.
The bowels of course should be attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It
is to inform them of the lmppy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. Iu child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must lie tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com
mon dose uud retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies formally of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory.
It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in ho many cases.
Synopsis,
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat
ment as much as possible, 1 give nuclei- tliis head general
‘iirectionsfor all cases. As tlie Negative Electric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie
name it may bo or ought to be called, it should lie given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cure.
When siicli indications occur in any case, they should
bo appropriate means, and these soliuld bo given while
giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then bo lost As the ‘, Fluid” alone will sub
due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment.
If tlie bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail to operate iu duo time, repeat tlie dose; if attended
with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if
violent pain iu the head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
tho feet iu hot water; if tile fever is very high, skin
dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the
whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid tlie medi
cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou
ble; if the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu absence of fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient lias become re
duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be
allayed before any medicine w ill remain on the stomach
to do nay goad; for this purpose I generally give some
goalie emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tile
stomach lias settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms
as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie
“ Fluid” at tho same time as directed, anil success will
crown your efforts; indeed,you cannot realize it till you
have seen, and then you will lie astonished at the ease
with which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may feel at a loss to know wliat is meant by
cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular
about wliat is used. I have found no such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by
all. 1 will name a tow of the different urth-lea of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cat hurtles.—Articles that purge or operate ou the
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the roots
or barks, and many pills, autibilious, .ti'\; anything
known to be good for such purposes.
Ilopattcs.—Anything known to act on tlie liver
particularly, portal circulation ami secretion* generally.
Any of the articles depended on by the different schools
for this purpose, w ill answer when used in connection
with tlie “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel —another, blue
mass—the third, podophyllin—tlie fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take his choice and be suc
cess ful.
Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such
ns quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Hone
set or tliorougliwort is one of tho best used in fevers.
Astringriits.—Such as check the action ortho
bow els. Istudanum and other preparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents,
which have tlie effect.
St liiiulmtto.— Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best;
ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences are all more
or less stimulating. These are tile only classes necessa
ry til treating fevers, though ninny others are generally
used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia
phoretic,*’ “anodyne,” “diuretic.” “relaxant” and
“sedative” than known iu the materia mi,lien.
1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs,
depending mainly ou the results of a trial, ami will
only refer to one instance ot'suceoss, that on tlie
Pncketsliip Duchess D’Orlcans.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates:
We, the undersigned, certify to the” following, viz—
We took passage on the psrkotship Duchess d'Orleans,
Capt Hutton, then lying in the pert of Havre, France’,
and bound tor New York. She sailed on the tffli of Au
gust. 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the email
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all
treated by the physician in charge. Dr. N. W.’Seat. with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec
tric Fluid, with which he seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and curing
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there were about eighty cases of small pox, some fever,
Ac., and uot a single death. All were cured with unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fully
eonviueed that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. Wo never before
heard or read of febrile affection! being controlled with
so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little
trouble to the nurse. A crowded ship, a long passage,
small pox and fever on board, and not a death.’ The
fact speaks for itself.

rrilESi; di-cases are common to many localities of the
J_ United Slates; but wherever they prevail, North,
South, F.uit or West, they all equally spring from the
same miasuml cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the
cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
Dy the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or iu other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son tioaliug in tlie atmosphere, causing disease toull who
breathe it. In accordance witli those unalterable laws
governing the uuerring afliuity subsisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
the public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purities the system affected by it of its
baneful iiillueuce, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its uso :
It will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered tor any length ut time, from one duy to twenty
years, and hy continuing its use, according to the direc
tions. a radical cure will be effected; the patient contin
uing free front the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure io malaria should make its use again necessary.
Iu its operation upon the poison in tlie system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and Niglit. Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other medc
cities. Tho patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
Ry its use Fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may be using tliis arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them tlie most valuable part of tlie
year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of
the United States, its success lias been so complete anil
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions iu
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed iucredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, because nil ilie resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilions
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies foil, or give only
temporary relief, their pois.nous effects are superadded
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
Uu this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding tlie makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof tha: the Remedy is not only valuable
on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire linrntlessness,
The ollowing certificate from on of the most celebrated
chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to eveiy bottle :
New Y'urk, June 11. 1555.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
JAMES U. CHILTON, M. D„ Chemist.”
It i- a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve tho human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by
preventing tlie taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Rente iy net more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an I
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking iu their veins, to develop itsell in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does harm.
Full directions and advice ns to diet arid habits of life
prepared by a distinguished l’hysician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
it will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or autibilious purgative. The
very best thing tor general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to c.eaus the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken
or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, potir
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates, and place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also tho air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
ami , estroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo
sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
Tills mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tlie
words. “Rhodes’ Fever and Acue Cure'’ blown in tlie
glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the
medicine, (tlie copyright of which is secured) and tho
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is- entirely upon- its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will bo considered sufficient.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the
thousands of remedies for Diseased Lungs, under the titles
of Sarsaparillas. I’ills, Plaster*. Liniments, Ac., that are

This preparation has attaiuod a wide celebrity from
the universal success which has attended its use. For
coughs, colds, and iu fact, any pulmonary complaints,
this medicine, from its peculiar properties as a dissolvi nt
and its -.s'tliiug power to all irritations of the throat,
will probably be preferred to any other offered to the
public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will
also be found excellent, its natural and genial warmth
keeping the digestive |mwerg in proper tone.
Komeuilx’r that this is the ouly Gough Medicine that
has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc

GREAT TRIUMPHS
ANl>
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF
RHODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE,
OR
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA:
Equally certain as a Preventive or Cure.
NO POISON. PROOFS !
See wliat the President of the Pharmaceutical Society
of Missouri, says of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, lsftS.
HAVING noticed the certificate of chemical analysis
given by the celebrated chemist Dr. J. R. Chilton,
of Now York city, in saver of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure, that it contained neither tjuiuine, Arsenic, Mer
curp nor Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was induced to send to Dr. .Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then 1 have disposed of a large
quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who have inva
riably been cured by it, and to whom 1 can refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to lie all that
the proprietor represents.

Had tlie Ague for Twelve Years 5
Providence, June 29, 1856.
Having been informed of the illness of a poor, but
worthy woman, who lias not born fre efrom Fever and
Ague a month at a time fur the last twelve years, I sup
plied her gratuitously with Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure. Flic took in all four bottles which completely re
stored her to health and strength, and as four months
have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma
nency of the cure.

Constantine, Mich., Sept. 34tli, 1855.
James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —I have just sent
an order to Ames & Halliday for another half gross of
your Feveraud Ague Cure. It lias sold like “ Hot Cakes,”
and 1 have only two liottles ou hand. One reason it
hits sold, is because when 1 have heard of a ease of Ague
or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a bottle and teld them to try
it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to
pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came
to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied.
Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING.

Moline, 111., Sept. 34, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—The box of “ Ague

demand for more; to meet which wo have ordered
front your general agent at Chicago, J. 1). Yerrington.
Its sale will only be equalled by the number of Fever
and Ague eases. Hoping these cases may be few, yet
have a bottle for every case.
We remain respectfully yours,

LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER.
Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19, 1855.
Mr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Bir—Your medicine has met
with the most favorable success in this neighborhood. 1
have about five bottles left. I give it to them at first,
‘if no cure no pay,’although I was not authorized by
you to do so; but I took the responsibility ou myself.—
But not a bottle has come back, and as 1 am almost out
of the article I wish you would forward me one gross of
the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will be
punctual in payment. I inclose fifteen dollars on the
medicine 1 have received, for which please send me a
receipt. Flop the cureto me as soon as you can—there
never lias been as much Chills and Fever since I lived in
the State, as at present. Yours, <fcc.,

Dr.. J. A. Rhodes— Dear Fir—Your Cure for the Fever
and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not
failed iu one instance to effect a quick and permanent
cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress

bottle of the Cure. Please send u- immediately four
dozen, as we have but three bot tles remaining.
Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN.
Cure of Panama Fever.
Providence, Sept. 22, 1855.
Mr. James A. Rhodes —Having been entirely cured
by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of
the i enefit it has been to me. I was first attacked hy
chills and fever on the Isthmus of Panama, several
months since, and in spite of the different flhmedies
and treatment I adopted, my health grew worse until
I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.—
Fince that time I have not had a single chill, and am
now in the enjoyment of good health.
Wishing y jur ni -dicine the success that it merits,
I remain truly yours,
THOMAS G. ANDREWS.

Evidence from tt Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Uliio, Sept. 25, 1855.
Mr. .). A. Rhodes,' —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in the family of a clergyman here lias been taking au
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some moutlis without any per
manent benefit —a few days since she got a bat tle of
the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Yours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Monticello, Ind.. Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —I have been in tlie practice
of Medicine here for about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours.
‘ W. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856.
Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. W. A.UAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of tho CURE, which is being intro
duced ns rapidly ns possible into every town and village
in tho United States, Camillas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist, DY. J. It. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per
fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
tlie Fever and Ague or not. just as they please.
1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take the Cure on commission. They thought Its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters
ot which I publish su li immense” quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use ns a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly Ben
sons, not a man woman or child iu the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from tho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect antidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, niglit sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.
